HER PAST

The Lambert family, one of the ancient families that have existed since the establishment of the empire, is one of the branches of the founding royal family.

Although it is not a competitor of the three families,
However, it is considered a commercial force that cannot be ignored.

It wasn't like this before

From generation to generation, its members inherited business acumen, and the high skill of seizing opportunities, and winning deals...

..."But"...

Their lack of magic left them behind in the world, their talent useless.

Each lord who took over the head of the family harnessed what he could to bequeath power to his children, mana stones, hunting rare beasts, exploiting the children of commoners who were born with immense magic power.
They spent a lot of money to achieve their only desire.

All these efforts were crowned with success. The offspring of the Lambert family was born with enormous magical power.

It invested in supporting their trade, which later developed into the production of various magical tools, and the construction of transportation centers.

By this they became one of the pillars of the empire, and their influence extended beyond borders.

The boom continued for decades.

They did not think for a moment that the complex they had thrown away would become a curse that would haunt them again.

Claudia, the second daughter of the Lambert family, was born...without magical power.

she is my mother.

Fear of losing efforts, fear of going back to the past,
All this caused them a great shock....

She was ostracized and considered a disgrace to the family.

Her beauty and talents did not intercede for her, for despite everything, she is the "cursed child"

Claudia, who tried to prove to her family that she is not a hindrance, began to think of giving up in her mind.

"Should I accept my fate and die, should I not be born?".

Until one day, her savior came,With one sentence, her life was completely changed.

-"I will take you as my wife".

Persephone Herodotus propose to her.

It was hard to believe
Why would a strong and great man like him marry a cursed woman like her?.

Claudia did not hesitate and accepted the offer directly.

-"yes I do "

The news spread everywhere and the story was repeated on every tongue, a love story between the noblest man and a cursed woman that was not affected by the differences or the view of high society.

Claudia was considered the most fortunate woman in the empire.

It's a famous story, the maids keep talking about it, it's reminded when new servants arrive at the palace.

But behind this romantic story, there is something that no one can discover.

I looked at the relationship between my mother and father, it was very strange.

With a little research and my attempt to connect the ideas, I came to a logical explanation

My father did not marry my mother for love, and my mother knows this.

My father is a person who does not believe in love, but rather all that matters to him is the honor and reputation of the family.
